Harboursandport.com: Lagos - The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) will midnight, Tuesday 14, 2023, commence a nationwide strike. All port operations nationwide are expected to be grounded by the strike which is coming on the instructions of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) after its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held, Monday, November 13, 2023, directing all affiliates of the Congress to strictly comply.
In a statement by the Head
of Media, MWUN, Comrade John Kennedy Ikemefuna, noted that the NLC and Trade
Union Congress (TUC) took this decision after their joint meeting in Abuja,
which was prompted by a series of infractions and encroachments of the rights
of workers, and the distressing incidents involving the abduction and assault
on the NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero and other Unions' officials and the
continued refusal of government to implement agreements, non-payment of backlog
of salaries, pensions, discriminatory payment of salaries and non-compliance to
national minimum wage.
As an affiliate of the
NLC, the MWUN is geared to commence the nationwide strike as directed by the
NLC.
